Frequently Asked Questions - G502 Proteus Core LOGITECH

How do I adjust the sensitivity (DPI) of the G502 Proteus Core mouse?

You can adjust the DPI via the Logitech Gaming Software. Select your mouse, then set up to 5 DPI levels (from 200 to 12,000). The +/- buttons located under the scroll wheel allow you to switch between these levels in-game.

How do I customize the mouse weight system?

Flip the mouse over and open the compartment located under the chassis. You will find 5 slots for 3.6 g cartridges. Add or remove weights according to your preferences to balance the mouse.

How do I clean the Logitech G502 Proteus Core mouse?

Unplug the mouse, then gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Never use abrasive products or liquids directly on the mouse. Avoid wetting electronic parts.

Why is the cursor moving jerkily?

This may be due to an unsuitable work surface (shiny or glass surfaces). Use an appropriate mouse pad. Also check that the sensor is not obstructed and that the PTFE feet are clean.

How do I change the scroll wheel mode?

Press the button located just behind the scroll wheel (mode button). You switch between free-spin (free scrolling) and click-to-click (notched) scrolling. This button is programmable in the Logitech Gaming Software.

Is the G502 Proteus Core mouse compatible with macOS?

Yes, it is compatible with macOS 10.10 or later. The Logitech Gaming Software has a macOS version that allows you to configure buttons and lighting.

How do I reset the mouse to factory settings?

In the Logitech Gaming Software, open your mouse settings and select the 'Reset to default settings' option. You can also perform a hardware reset by holding down the DPI + and DPI - buttons for 5 seconds.

Can I use the mouse without the Logitech Gaming Software?

Yes, the mouse works automatically in Plug & Play mode with default settings. However, the software is necessary to program buttons, adjust DPI, configure RGB lighting, and save profiles in the onboard memory.

What should I do if the mouse is not recognized by the computer?

Try plugging the mouse into another USB port. Restart your computer. If the problem persists, try on another PC to determine if the mouse is defective. Also check that the cable is not damaged.

How do I assign a macro to a mouse button?

Open the Logitech Gaming Software, click on your mouse, then on the 'Assignments' tab. Select the button to configure, choose 'Macro', and record the desired key sequence. You can then assign this macro to the button.

Tips

Weight and balance tuning is very much an exercise in personal preference.

Generally speaking, more weight makes it easier to control high DPI settings, while less weight makes low-DPI gaming less fatiguing.

Centering weights along an imaginary line between your thumb and right-side

grip finger(s) will help maintain optimal front-to-back balance

The effects of changing weights may not be immediately apparent. After changing the position or number of weights, give yourself some time to experience the difference before changing them again.

Try the default profile settings in practice games before changing these settings.

Advanced gamers can customize each game according to their specific button configuration and sensitivity switching needs. The Logitech Gaming Software stores this information and applies it automatically when the game is detected.

If the mouse doesn't work

• Unplug and re-plug the USB cable to ensure a good connection.
• Try the mouse USB cable in another USB port on the computer.
• Use only a powered USB port.
• Try rebooting the computer.
• If possible, test the mouse on another computer.
• Visit www.logitech.com/support/g502 for more suggestions and assistance.
